Description

“A sumptuous looking film with a smorgasbord of people who give a damn, and who’re all trying to change the only world we have for the better.” – Te Radar

Sometimes it can feel like the environmental, economic and social issues the world is currently facing are too big, too overwhelming, to be dealt with by individuals. Climate change, resource limits, economic downturn, social disconnection. Surely these issues can only be properly managed by our governments?

Living the Changeexplores solutions to the global crises we face today – solutions any one of us can be part of – through the inspiring stories of people pioneering change in their own lives and in their communities in order to live in a sustainable and regenerative way.

Directors Jordan Osmond and Antoinette Wilson have brought together stories from their travels around New Zealand, along with interviews with experts able to explain how we come to be where we are today. From forest gardens to composting toilets, community supported agriculture to timebanking,Living the Changeoffers ways we can rethink our approach to how we live.

Each and every one of us has the power to create change.Living the Changesets out to inspire us to do just that. There are so many exciting and important ideas and initiatives out there, so much hope and inspiration. We want to generate discussion as widely and deeply as possible about how each of us views the future and our part in it.

6.45 pm - Guest speakers: Andrew Dickson and Nadja Osterstock are parents with a permaculture perspective, now 10 years into making-over their 1950s home, small garden and lifestyle for sustainability. They will review their progress in the context of David Holmgren's new book 'RetroSuburbia', to be launched at the Joinery this month.
